i dont see how as the motor heats up it fill the over floow to the point it pisses all over the ground and then when it cools it sucks every thing out of the tank back in the motor


fan works and the radiator is not clogged at all

Oops, you forgot to mention that.

That means it is boiling!!!

Engine cool, squeeze a radiator hose, it should be soft.
Start engine and bring up to temperature. Squeeze same hose, it should be hard.

Post back with results.

And a bad radiator cap would cause this.

Jap bikes like to run cool so fans do run.

Your cooling system is working fine.

So if the overflow shows full when hot, but doesn't suck any coolant in when the bike cools...

very low coolant in the radiator?
air bubble?
something else?

[sfair]

Leak somewhere on the pressure side of the system...cap, hose, head gasket, etc.
Or the overflow tank hose is not connected.

Ordering a Dobeck TFI this week, will pull the tank to install and check it all. Thx!
